Book review: Humble roots by Hannah Anderson

This book presents the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway and the surroundings of Virginia mountains. The well known route of natural beauty is part of the setting of Hannah Anderson beginning her exploration to pursue peace and humility. She started when feeling restless and anxious, she immersed herself in the world outside. Hannah loved discovering lots of wonderful plants like: forsythia, milkweed and a herb garden. While learning about soil preparation, sour mulch, grapevine blights she understood the truth about our dependence on God, finding rest, and fighting discontentment. Humble Roots is presenting some theology and some stroll through the fields and forest. Anderson explores how cultivating humility leads to peace. The mistake is when we focus too much on strict boundaries, increased productivity and strict schedule. The Bible message supporting this teaching is: “Come unto me, all who labor and are heavy laden and you will find rest for your souls.” Jesus is humility Himself, we learn it from Him. We have to think who we are and Who we are not, also rediscovering everything else that comes from belonging to Him. I received a copy of the book from the publisher for this review.
